Quietly attracting a significant global following for their sweeping pop anthems, Aotearoa's Mild Orange mark the onset of summer with confident new double single drop 'What's Your Fire?' and 'Hollywood Dreams'. Both tunes set listeners up for Mild Orange's just-announced third studio album Looking For Space, smack-dab in the middle of the four piece's forthcoming tour of the EU, UK and North America. 'What's Your Fire?' is an epic-scale quest for identity that's sure to move crowds, while slow-groover 'Hollywood Dreams' reflects upon those infamous, ever-shifting goalposts of showbiz success. Frontman Josh Mehrtens unpacked the origins of the lead track...
“For me, 'What's Your Fire?' came from a time in my life where I was trying to figure out who I am, or who the person I want to be is. It asks oneself some intense questions, though hopefully helps oneself find light in the idea that there is always something that you can do to improve yourself or the world around you - no matter how big or small.”
The quartet was founded in 2017 by childhood friends Josh Mehrtens and Josh Reid while flatting together during studies at the University of Otago, and later joined by Tom Kelk and Jack Ferguson, who soon after found themselves touring around the world. They are now based in New Plymouth.
